Do you think Ichigo should be with Rukia or Orihime?

[Steffy]

I'd like to see Ichigo with Rukia, that would be so sweet. Orihime is very pretty but she annoys me a bit.

[Tobi]

Ichigo should be with Rukia. If I were Ichigo, I'd want a girl who's hot, hot, and super hot and who will never age. ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!

While you age and eventually die? gg.

[Graffik]

Inoue can do things for Ichigo, Rukia would never dream possible ... ....
Then there's the fact Rukia is old enough to be Ichigo's Granny - 4 times

While you age and eventually die? gg.

*haha pwned* Next topic

[Barbaroi]

I think that neither should be with him, but be with the awsome great super Barbaroi!!! Barbaroi can show them both a good time. A much better time then Ichigo ever could!!!

On topic: I really would have to think Orihime. As for previous reasons stated, shes not hundreds of years old. Rukia will stay the same with minor changes happening where Ichigo will eventually become old and die.

[jonnethon]

Niether, they should remain homies and find other people.

[Genosuke]

Abarai deserves to be with Rukia... They know each other for so long, and that means that Orihime and Ichigo will be together. That makes sense, does it?

[ILUVINOUE]

yeah definatly hime by the way things are going now and she was the first person ichigo smiled at in a long time

[linna-san]

i want to be ichigo and rukia very much...

[Aessi]

I am split. If he is with Rukia then he can stay a Shinigami. If he is Orihime, then he won't. Kon should get both!!

[madam.elsie]

i feel like Rukia and Renji should be together because they have so much history together. Ichigo should be with Orihime because she definitely needs someone strong to take care of her...she's such a ditz sometimes...more like all the time.

[ShyGuy]

[QUOTE=Then there's the fact Rukia is old enough to be Ichigo's Granny - 4 times*haha pwned* Next topic[/QUOTE]
i agree, Rukia can live forever, and 13th Captain said when Orihime died shied become a shinigami. Also, I go for rukia too because ichigo's father was a shinigami as well but married a human(she ddn't know so its odd). I say orihime because she can have children for Ichi and wont care because she can see and touch shinigami. Also, the family wont be a huge secret so it would be alright. Look, Renji loves Rukia, thats why he fought ichigo so that she will love him.(of course he failed) Never doubt me.

[Avalon]

What? You guys didn't know? In the manga, Ichigo and Rukia are already together!

Oh wait.

Oops.

;P

[Captain BenZ]

What? You guys didn't know? In the manga, Ichigo and Rukia are already together!
Oh wait.
Oops.
;P
You phail.

Personally, I'd say Ichigo should be with Orihime because Orihime has such a passionate desire to see Ichigo happy. Even if it is a one sided thing, Ichigo will eventually figure it out.

[DarkSlayer]

You phail.

You sure about that?

Anime guys all seem to have one thing in common: When it comes to being able to tell when a chick digs him or not, they're all completely oblivious.

So we'll see :p

[Avalon]

For all of the people saying "Well, Ichigo would just get old and die..."

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a young and sexy wife for your entire life? I mean, damn, if I could marry a girl who never aged, I'd be all for it. Orihime would be some old wrinkly hag by the time she was 60 and Rukia would look like she was still 20. Hell yes, man.

[Zanga]

You wouldn't be able to do anything with her after you're like 50.


Viagra only degrades you as a man.

[Graffik]

@ Zanga WTFPWNED

@Avalon, Yea, it's not like that '20 year' old wife will stay with you once you reach that age, wth would she get from a miserable 70+ wrinkly strawberry head!?!?

And if Orihime get's wrinkly she and Ichigo can just get Grimmjow to kill them and be reborn in SS

[Viva_ Shira]

orihime!!!!! SHE GOT DEM BIG OLD TITTIES WE CAN GET OLD WITH THEM JOINTS I GIVE HER IMPLANTS!!!!, she even has a nice bottom, rukia is all skeleton>.>.

[Kurosaki Isshin]

i would say Orihime since renji would be the one to get rukia since he has for the most part liked her since they got into ss

[Vi3tElite]

Ichigo and Rukia in my opinion, mainly cause it seems they get along better and it just makes for better and funnier T.V.

[Avalon]

You wouldn't be able to do anything with her after you're like 50.
Viagra only degrades you as a man.
Who cares what your status as a man is? If I was that old and still had access to pussy that young, I'm all for Viagra.

Logic!

[Victory]

:Haha
Ichigo will most probably end up being with Rukia IMO even though I feel that Renji deserve to be with Rukia..

[AraharuEkusik]

Ichigo should end up with Rukia, storywise he ends up going against Aizen and the two of them end up killing each other and Ichigo is reborn in soul society or something along those lines to make it more plausible for a "human" to be a with a shinigami. Once he is a full soul he becomes a captain and Rukia is his lieutenant.

[Masamune]

u know ichigo is already technically dead, go back to episodes 17 and 18, his chain of fate thingy was broken, so in other wourd he is no longer a human and nolonger attached to his body, so to me it makes more sense for ichigo and rukia to end up together.

other proof of this is in the movie, uhanna or however u spell his name told orhimeand ishada that they couldnt follow ichigo because they were human. this implies that ichigo is already dead and is no longer human.

[Marquis de Sado]

Ichigo should end up with Grimmjow.
Yaoi ftw.

[VIDTID]

Ichigo should end up with Grimmjow.
Yaoi ftw.
lmao nice im for rukia and renji!:biggrinlo ichigo can have orihime!:face82:

[red_rain]

Bleach is a pretty kick-ass show. I can't help but think that a slight hinting at romance between some of the characters is inevitable. SO! I definately think that Rukia and Ichigo have an unspoken "thing" going on between them. They are so similar in spirit, and they seem to fuel each other. The looooooove is there.

Orihime is a sweetie, but Ichi doesn't let on that he's into her as anything more than a friend....and I agree with the thought that she's meant to grow individually from getting past that.

Ichigo seems to have a damsel-in-distress fixation too....

[Zanga]

So Ichigo walking around his school after the whole SS arc talkign to this friends, being hit on the head by his teacher and whatnot means he's not human. Oh man, you're so right.

And why they couldn't enter that world where Senna was? [b] It's because humans can't enter spirit worlds, unlike Ichigo who is a SHINIGAMI

Remember when the group first went to the Soul Society? They went through that rectangular gate? That's a gate that changes your body into spiritons which allows even humans to go to the Spirit Gate.

[Avalon]

His human body is more like a gigai that ages. He's no longer technically a human. He is a Shinigami, completely detached from any real physical form at all. His human body could be destroyed and he could still live on like nothing happened.

And why they couldn't enter that world where Senna was? [b] It's because humans can't enter spirit worlds, unlike Ichigo who is a SHINIGAMI
You're preaching to the choir here, man. That's the point he was trying to make. Ichigo is a Shinigami. Rukia is a Shinigami. Orihime is not.

Remember when the group first went to the Soul Society? They went through that rectangular gate? That's a gate that changes your body into spiritons which allows even humans to go to the Spirit Gate.
I don't see what this has to do with anything, but you're correct. Ichigo is a Shinigami, free to pass in and out of the real world and any spirit-based world. He also has the ability to function without a real body, and can waltz just about anywhere he damn well pleases. A normal human soul would need the exchangers to be able to pass into the spirit real. Ichigo is obviously not a normal human soul.

The point that Masamune was trying to make was this; Ichigo and Rukia are spiritual entities, free to pass from world to world without trouble and have the ability to function without a body. The normal rules of Shinigami apply to both. Orihime, on the other hand, is just a normal human soul. She can't function without her body (as we've seen), because she's connected by her spirit chain. Once her body is destroyed, her soul has no choice but to "die" by being sent to SS via a Soul Burial or becoming a Hollow.

Thus, there's an incompatibility between Ichigo and Orihime that technically started at the very beginning of the series. By the time Orihime gets old and croaks, Ichigio will still look about twenty years old. The same could be said for Rukia. The fundamental difference is ultimately unavoidable, thus leaving both Ichigo and Orihime completely and utterly incompatible with each other. So yeah, there you go.

[Raistlin_The_Archmage]

Rukia, deff!
they just seem to fit so well.
Orhime should be with Ishida anywayz

[Raistlin_The_Archmage]

[Darth Revan]

Orihime booobbbiesss

[sophiamao]

i reali think rukiya! coz she's much betta she can fight reali well looks gud great friends with ichi gon andshe's not that babish

[gabbydrake16]

Rukia x Ichigo would be a cute couple but, Rukia should end up dying near the end and Ichigo will then live his name as number one protector and go with Orihime who definitely needs protection.

[Masamune]

And why they couldn't enter that world where Senna was? It's because humans can't enter spirit worlds, unlike Ichigo who is a SHINIGAMI



Zanga, u do know that shinigami's are dead right. So wheither or not u agree with me or not, my point still remains valid. As for the others, Avalon seemed to provide more than enough evidence

one last question, why does everybody end up liking a girl who is an airhead. Over one who may not have as big physical qualities as the other,but is very pretty and who is intelligent as hell. I just dont seem to be able to comprehend this

[mountlaurel]

And why they couldn't enter that world where Senna was? It's because humans can't enter spirit worlds, unlike Ichigo who is a SHINIGAMI

definitely right!

I prefer Rukia for Ichigo

[Ichigo_15]

ok this is what i say lol,
i think it Should be Ichigo&Orihime b/c 1. they r both living 2. i think Renji and Rukia would be better b/c they have know each other longer and Renji i think Likes Rukia in that way but he just dosent let it show b/c it might ruin they're friendship 3. Rukia thinks of Ichigo of just a really good friend, thats my reasoning dont get mad at me thats just my reason

[Avalon]

ok this is what i say lol,
i think it Should be Ichigo&Orihime b/c 1. they r both living
Wrong. Ichigo is technically a soul, like Rukia. Therefore he is not "living".

[Masamune]

Wrong. Ichigo is technically a soul, like Rukia. Therefore he is not "living".

just beat him over the head, why dont ya!!! jk
but avalon's right, ichigo is dead.
if you go back to page 52 or the ichiruki FC you will find that this has been discussed and proven.

Here is a qoute from Avalon earlier

In a good world both Rukia and Orhime!
But for real Rukia is best for him!

[Ichigo_15]

oh ok i didnt relize that but he still has a real body though doesnt he? ( i know off topic but i didnt relize that )

[Avalon]

oh ok i didnt relize that but he still has a real body though doesnt he? ( i know off topic but i didnt relize that )
I'd say it's still on topic. He's got a "real body", yes, but to him it's much like a gigai that ages. Over time, his body will get old and eventually "die", but it will just be a husk used to contain Ichigo's soul. When the old body goes out, it could be replaced with a gigai. So, while Ichigo does have a "real body", even if that body were to be destroyed it would matter little, seeing as he could just have it replaced with a gigai. Whether a real body or a gigai, it doesn't matter.

[April_San]

Ichigo should be with Orhime
cause she the one who loves him

[Graffik]

^ Yes, yes indeed

I've only seen Ichigo and Rukia share a bond of a very strong friendship, at least with Orihime we know somebody does have feelings there, it's too cloudy with Rukia, and we all know she should be with Renji... It'd be his ultimate way of getting at Byakuya... :P

[Masamune]

Ichigo should be with Orhime
cause she the one who loves him


i wouldnt really call it love, it seems like more of an obsession to me. kinda creeps me out. On top of this orihime already basically said that she cant do what rukia does for ichigo. which means she already realizes that rukia is better for ichigo, but she just doesnt want to admit it to herself

[TuRm0iL]

I've seen this type of best-friend girl competition for a guy before. T'was in a very good book. The guy ended up with not one of em. Instead he got both, and later another. All in all, polygamy FTW
(the book series is called Wheel of Time BTW, and is really very good, itll never get finished tho, author died)

So for those who aren't following, Ichigo will get both. Maybe at the same time.

[Kuroudo]

Hmm i want Ichigo X Rukia but it seems more likely that its Orihime X Ichigo.

1. They've known each other longer
2. She looks up to Ichigo
3. Shes the secondary female lead.
4. if Tite Kubo does the cliche, Female lead X Male lead then it will be Ichigo X Rukia but hopefully hes not that stupid or is he? he has allowed Fillers into the madness (though not all are bad like Ashido)

[DarkSlayer]

@ the whole Zanga quote about Ichigo technically being a Shinigami:

Ichigo is an anomaly. He's a Shinigami, but at the same time he's still Human.

Yes, his body is like a gigai except for the fact that unlike a gigai, it ages.

Well yeah - that's because it's NOT a gigai. It's his BODY. You know, from BEFORE awakening his Shinigami powers?

Therefore he and Orihime are still compatible. He can age with Orihime, and he can die with Orihime (as a human).

And oh! Wouldn't it be just oh-so-romantic for him to die shortly before she dies, so he can preform the Soul Burial on Orihime and send her to Soul Society where he can live with her and cherish her for the rest of eternity?

By the way, the fact that Orihime even entered Soul Society proves that she's no ordinary human. In fact, anyone that has come in contact with Ichigo has become abnormal in some way, shape or form.

So at this point Orihime has just as much of a chance with Ichigo that Rukia does.

[Avalon]

And oh! Wouldn't it be just oh-so-romantic for him to die shortly before she dies, so he can preform the Soul Burial on Orihime and send her to Soul Society where he can live with her and cherish her for the rest of eternity?
Yeah, except for that part where, you know, the person loses their memory (except in extremely rare cases).

By the way, the fact that Orihime even entered Soul Society proves that she's no ordinary human. In fact, anyone that has come in contact with Ichigo has become abnormal in some way, shape or form.
No. She was able to go because of the soul-exchangers than Urahara put into the Senkai gate. If some random human were to wander through the gate, they could go to Soul Society just as well as Orihime could.

Also, Kuchiki, he's been following every other Shōnen cliché to the letter. Why would this one be any different? =)

[Undying]

Yeah, except for that part where, you know, the person loses their memory (except in extremely rare cases).
Ding ding, wrong.

Memory loss occurs when a person reincarnates. In Soul Society, everyone remembers themselves.
No. She was able to go because of the soul-exchangers than Urahara put into the Senkai gate. If some random human were to wander through the gate, they could go to Soul Society just as well as Orihime could.
And Orihime has powers that intrude upon the power of God, what's your point? She's anything but normal. Neither are Chad (Hollow-like powers in a human? And you call that normal?), Ishida (Quincy are a bunch of arrow-users in a world of sword-fighters, how is that normal?)
Also, Kuchiki, he's been following every other Shōnen cliché to the letter. Why would this one be any different? =)
That's not the point! It's principle of the thing! And the principle of the thing is that I want 400$ more on your monthly payment. Fork over the dough, yo!

And no, I don't argue whether Ichigo should be with Orihime or Rukia :o. I believe Ichigo should be with Orihime, but I've been arguing that for so long that I don't care anymore :).

[Leoo]

Well, my point of view is that Ichigo should be with Orihime. I think there is something between Rukia and Abarai. And the second thing: Ichigo and Orihime are both from human world, Rukia and Abarai are from Soul Society ;) That maches together.

[babygila]

Well, both Rukia and Orihime has the looks. But I guess it just has to be Rukia-san who goes best with Ichigo cos they're both very strong and therefore if there is love, it would be passionate :headbang lolx. I think Orihime should be with Ishida-kun~ :Domo

[Masamune]

And oh! Wouldn't it be just oh-so-romantic for him to die shortly before she dies, so he can preform the Soul Burial on Orihime and send her to Soul Society where he can live with her and cherish her for the rest of eternity?


well ichigo is already dead so it wouldnt matter, he still cant die.

i really dont see why people dont see the ichiruki relationship, and theres so much against orihime. just gotta look. besides for orihime its more of an obsession, and what kind of guy would want to date an obsessing freak. its really creepy.

Ding ding, wrong.

Memory loss occurs when a person reincarnates. In Soul Society, everyone remembers themselves.



can you prove that, i would like to know where you get your information. it can be interpreted that when the perform the soul burial, they always say that u wont have to worry about that anymore or something along those lines. which basically would mean that they lose thier memory, because if they didnt then they would still worry when they got to soul society. which this in turn would be just a change in location nothing more.

[DarkSlayer]

Ichigo died once, true. However he's still alive obviously. He's got his body.

He still lives amongst other living human beings. He just happens to be an under-cover Shinigami.

And I'm not saying that Ichigo shouldn't be with Rukia. I can tell that if they were to hook up that it would be a great relationship. I'm just saying that I think Ichigo would be equally happy with Orihime.

not he is not alive his body is just an inefficent gigai now that ages unlike other gigais. nothing more. if you say that he is still alive, than i can just as well say that rukia or anyone else for that matter is still alive, because they also can live among humans.

We know that Rukia and the other Shinigami use Gigai when they're in the real world. It's clearly been stated several times in the Manga and the Anime.

I've yet to hear anyone refer to Ichigo's body as his gigai. Everyone refers to it as "Ichigo's body" or if they're saying it to Ichigo "your body". Not Gigai.

When Ichigo talks to Renji about his gigai, he calls it a gigai, not his body because it is in fact not his actual body, it is a gigai.

:babies:

your missing the point. yes it is ichigo's body, but it acts like a gigai. and it is therefore ineffiecent since it ages. so personnally if i was ichigo i would have gotten it destroyed along time ago

[DarkSlayer]

your missing the point. yes it is ichigo's body, but it acts like a gigai. and it is therefore ineffiecent since it ages. Riiiiiight.

"acts like a gigai." HMMM - Maybe because IT'S NOT A GIGAI?

How does aging make it inefficient? It's his body from LIVING. He has yet to actually LIVE his life out before taking on his role as a Shinigami.

One step at a time plz. Life first, then full time Shinigami. The only reason he pops in and out is to fulfill his role as a "Shinigami Representative". It's easier than having to send a Shinigami everytime a Hollow pops up.

so personnally if i was ichigo i would have gotten it destroyed along time ago
So you'd just throw away your life as a human just to be a full time Shinigami?

Am I the only one who finds that kind of...just no? I'd think you'd want to enjoy your life first and then serve in Soul Society.

[Masamune]

Riiiiiight.

first off not what i ment, they never specifically stated that he has to live his life out. on the other note. yes i wouldnt mind trading my body for a gigia. who ever said id have to serve the soul society as soon as i didnt have my body. the only difference i see, is the fact that in the human world i can stay young forever. who ever wants to get old and wrinkly anyways.
so basically id have my life and be immortal.... mwhahaha

[DarkSlayer]

they never specifically stated that he has to live his life out. They don't have to state whether or not he's to live his life out first. It's assumed that he will.

What do living people do? They live out their life.

I sure as hell don't have to be told to live out my life.

It's a given.

on the other note. yes i wouldnt mind trading my body for a gigia. who ever said id have to serve the soul society as soon as i didnt have my body.
See Rukia's Trial.

Rukia was sent to the Human world for a month long assignment and didn't return. SS sent a captain and a lieutenant to the human world to retrieve her - with force, if necessary.

I'm pretty sure you'd server if you know what's good for you.

the only difference i see, is the fact that in the human world i can stay young forever. who ever wants to get old and wrinkly anyways.
so basically id have my life and be immortal.... mwhahaha
So you want to suffer all the ages of this world? Hell, by the time I've spent 40 years in this world I'll be sick of it and ready to move on.

An eternity in this hell hole? F that.

[Leoo]

Both are cute. But Ichigo should do something with Rukia. She is sad so often...

[Warchef]

Please do show some proper evidence of a possible Ichihime romance rather than two scattered manga chapters.

I don't think there will be any romance in the series tbh.

About Rukia's age: Somewhere in the series they mentioned that a person ages 10 times slower than in the real world. Rukia is 150 in SS years, however if you take the aging process into account she is actually 15 in human years. So, she isn't TOO OLD for Ichigo.

Secondly, I love all of the people refuting an Ichiruki romance based on the fact that they fight. So what? Just because two people fight doesn't mean that they aren't in love. Hell, me and my wife fight all of the time, but we love each other. I don't think Ichigo will make any decisions on romance until AFTER Aizen dies.

Until then, this debate is pointless. You can't prove for or against your favorite couples, yet if you look at hints provided by KT throughout the manga and anime, it's more towards IchiRuki.

[MetalSpawn]

Ichigo should go for orihime, she is ten times hotter than any anime women i have seen and is not as dominating as rukia

[Warchef]

Ichigo should go for orihime, she is ten times hotter than any anime women i have seen and is not as dominating as rukia

She's a ditz and a stalker. At least Rukia can actually cheer Ichigo up.

[Masamune]

yea, and besides i personally think rukia is hotter than orihime.

[Tsunayoshi]

I think Ichigo should be with Orihime

[Neko Toku]

I think Ichigo should be with Orihime too. Although I don't think that will happen. >_>

[SyKO_kickass]

look i dnt care bout rukia or chad or ishida or any of the male characters at all. n idnt care who goes with who. all i think is Rukia shud b with me. Ichigo can hav the leftovrs :toocool:

[Viva_ Shira]

From the way it looks like Rukia cant let go of her past or w.e with that guy, uh what's his name...? oh yea Kaien dono, so i believe he may just end up with huge breast, little butt orihime XD i'd so titty **** her DX, ewwwww nasty i said thingz about anime! Another reason is that, because she is bound soul society she is not allowed to stay in the human world, so even if byakushitga protected her the old man would start fak'n with his awesome powers! So im just saying Rukia is a slave to soul society she is not allowed to stay in the human world, and whenever she comes orihime doesn't have to know so yea, go ichigo! get em both!

[D3v]

Ahem, too much tetosterone in this thread. As for Orihime or Rukia, neither. Orihime will ride Ulq and Rukia will end up with Renji. Ichigo should get the gay on with Aizen.

[Warchef]

I wonder what it will take to get the people of lesser intelligence in this forum to understand a few simple things.

Ichigo is NOT a normal human. After his chain of fate was severed, he basically became a shinigami living in a "living" gigai. Not to mention he is part Hollow and the fact that Isshin himself was a shinigami himself, which further makes Ichigo compatible with Rukia.

Orihime is the stereotypical love-struck woman with the one-sided love for the hero of the story.

The true heroine of the story is Rukia, and if any of the innuendos and shoujo cliches thrown out by KT are an indication, Ichigo will end up with Rukia, assuming that there is ANY romance in Bleach at all.

i could easily say that your arguments are the brightest comments in this thread (Something is wrong ..... i just commented someone)

Orihime is just love struck with Ichigo because it was because of his influence that her powers were awoken and he always saves her and the only way she can express her gratitude is by loving him

Rukia is still having problems with her past with that kein dono (bad spelling) guy and is not emotionally mature enough to have a deep relationship with anyone

If Ichigo was to be with any one it would be with Rukia because she was the one that honed his power (like Orihime's problem above ) but Ichigo is not that type of person

So in all likely hood there will be no romance in bleach(partly because of reasons above).Romance does not suit the bleach story line (esentialy a fighting anime)and bleach would be to soppy with romance on top of Ichigos "must save everyone" problem

[Warchef]

The thing is, there is no indication given that Rukia's relationship with Kaien was anything but platonic and friendly. After all, the guy was married to Miyako, who was pretty good on the eyes herself. Rukia admired Kaien immensely because he, along with Captain Ukitake treated Rukia like she wanted to be treated, as a normal woman, rather than some uptight, stuckup noble who was supposed to be pampered and served.

Rukia's "It's my fault that he died" personality seems to change after she kills Aaroniero. She realizes that Kaien may have died physically but he is still there with her in spirit and she shouldn't suffer anymore.

Ichigo is the only person that can push all of her buttons and they have a very, very close relationship. Sure it's friendship but anyone that's watched Bleach can see for themselves the "implied" romance between Ichigo/Rukia.

Before I forget, Ichigo calls Rukia "Rukia" and not "Kuchiki-san", which indicates a very close relationship. The only other people he calls that to are the Soul Society people and Chad. Orihime is NOT a close enough friend to be called "Orihime" as she is just referred to as "Inoue".

If I bet my money on any romance and the series, it WILL be Ichigo and Rukia, and NOT Ichigo and Orihime.

Orihime will ride Ulq

She was half in love with him :rolleye09. Especially those blushing moments, they were platonic and friendly, hmm?
Rukia's "It's my fault that he died" personality seems to change after she kills Aaroniero. She realizes that Kaien may have died physically but he is still there with her in spirit and she shouldn't suffer anymore.
There wasn't any indication that anything has changed; also this has no bearing whatsoever to any romance between herself and Ichigo.

So... if calling by the name implies a very "close" relationship, then he must be utterly in love with Byakuya, Renji, Ikkaku, Chad...

Calling by the name has no real bearing on romance.
Orihime is NOT a close enough friend to be called "Orihime" as she is just referred to as "Inoue".
So being awkward around her, almost as though he has a crush on her, is no reason for him to distance himself from her by trying not to call her by her name and, well, be polite to her (which is not something Ichigo does a lot, notice he is only polite (adding suffixes and the like) to very specific people, most of whom deserve his respect in some way - e.g., Urahara was his teacher, etc.).0

Calling a boy by his given first name =/= calling a girl by her given first name.

Ichigo is awkward around every girl in the series. He's awkward around Matsumoto, Yoruichi, Inoue, and Rukia. Why is it you seem to imply awkwardness as a means of starting a romantic endeavor?
Especially with Kubo hinting towards Ichigo developing feelings over Inoue. Interesting bet you have there - you must like to part with your money.
Really? After reading from the first chapter of the HM arc, I don't see anything hinting at "romantic" feelings anywhere.

[Undying]

And that's why she blushed whenever he was around her. Mentor much? And this still has no bearing on any romance.

:rolleye09 I dunno, Yaoi anime disagree with you. Also, Ichigo calls Rangiku by pretty much her first name (with suffix, but still Rangiku).

Sure, awkward around Yoruichi? When she's naked, sure. He is always awkward around any girl that doesn't look like a four-year-old boy naked.

He sure doesn't act awkward when they are fully clothed - as opposed to his strange reactions to Orihime.
Really? After reading from the first chapter of the HM arc, I don't see anything hinting at "romantic" feelings anywhere.
:rolleye09 Swearing he will save her, risking his life for her against enemies he knows he has no chance against, protecting her with his body at the cost of severe injury, revealing his evil side to her...

Sure, no romance whatsoever... he only has romantic feelings towards Rukia, only her, it must be, the fangirls said so.

:whatevah:

[Warchef]

Strange, because only when he gave her well deserved advice or praise did she blush.. I don't think that counts as "whenever he was around her".

He's awkward around every girl clothed or not. I fail to see your point in what you are saying.
Acting awkward around women with big breasts also =/= romantic feelings. We all were awkward around women with giant racks. Heck, I'm married and I still try to avoid talking to women who were "blessed" in more ways than one.


:rolleye09 Swearing he will save her, risking his life for her against enemies he knows he has no chance against, protecting her with his body at the cost of severe injury, revealing his evil side to her...

Yet he did all the same things with Rukia's rescue and you fail to mention that?
It's also later in the storyline, His hollow form wasn't even developed at that time as he had no control over it.

Yoruichi. That's two. Ch-ching. And Tatsuki. Three. Pass me the counter please, I think I'm out of change,
He's awkward around every girl clothed or not. I fail to see your point in what you are saying.
He's not awkward around Rangiku, or Rukia, or Yoruichi, or Tatsuki... or any other girl (provided they are clothed), with the sole exception of Orihime.
Acting awkward around women with big breasts also =/= romantic feelings. We all were awkward around women with giant racks. Heck, I'm married and I still try to avoid talking to blessed women.
Poor you then, because that doesn't apply to everyone. Not to mention that Ichigo isn't awkward around women with large breasts... he's awkward around women with hot bodies, large breasts, and generally sexy attitudes that try to seduce him/have no problem being nude. He's awkward around Orihime without her being undressed.
Yet he did all the same things with Rukia's rescue and you fail to mention that?
Showed her his, shall we say, evil form? Defended her with his body from a direct attack in a middle of a fight? He did not do that for Rukia. He also did not go, willingly and alone, against enemies he knew perfectly well he had no chance against (he had no knowledge of bankai, nor did he know about the limitation of captains and VCs, he was clearly under illusion that he can match up to them, which was not the case with Orihime).
It's also later in the storyline, His hollow form wasn't even developed at that time as he had no control over it.
However, he didn't tell about that form to anyone at all, had he? On the other hand, he willingly used his "demonic" power to defend Orihime - and since it's Hollow-like power, it's obvious why he told no one about it.
And what you're doing isn't fangirling?
Please point me to the place where I stated that there cannot be any romance between Rukia and Ichigo. What I went against was your stubborn denial that there can be any such feelings between Ichigo and Orihime.

You must've thought that anyone who does not agree that Ichigo and Rukia are pretty much an item is against it...

[Warchef]

I didn't say there couldn't be romance between Ichigo and Orihime, I just don't think that they'll end up together. I am not against IchigoxOrihime, I just favor IchigoxRukia more.

Heh, I didn't say Orihime wasn't sexy.. because she is. Rukia has qualities too and to me it seems like they would fit well together, but Orihime at least we know has some feelings for Ichigo. Rukia is an enigma, but she may crack before the series is over.

Then again, there is the offchance that there isn't any romance at all.

[MetalSpawn]

Trying to be an outside apinion (has cast one vote for Orihime and one for Rukia) it looks like it could go anyway if any.There are good arguments for the Orihime and Rukia relationships



this might nulinvoid above comment but i just relized something:Ichigo has a complex about saving people and Orihime loves Ichigo because he all ways saves her while Rukia has some power and can look after her self so a possible link but hard to connect it up

[Masamune]

However, he didn't tell about that form to anyone at all, had he? On the other hand, he willingly used his "demonic" power to defend Orihime - and since it's Hollow-like power, it's obvious why he told no one about it.

although nobody knew of his new learned ability to control the hollow state, people already knew about his inner hollow. rukia already stated that among others. so i dont really see your point.
apparently orihime was too oblivious to notice

Hair alone doesn't discern a romance.

[inocho]

So??:whatevah:
Can't they ship the pairing just because they like the way the hair colours of a pairing blend together?:whatevah:

I'm sure you've met people who think Ichigo and Rukia pairing is going to work just because Ichigo's hair is bleached so as to show a contrast of Rukia's black hair. That's even a worse excuse to believe in IchiKiai pairing being canon, if you ask me.

Oh, btw......in case you live inside a cave, there are a lot of 'romantic' pairings, boyxgirl, girlxgirl, boyxboy, out there who share the same hair colour. It's called ethnic pairing, not go for someone else who is not of the same race.

People dont get together because of hair colour ,coupels that have gotten together with the same or complementing hair did not do it for this reason and if they did that relationship did not last long. Hair=stupid train of thought moving on to next train of thought

OH, PLEASE FORGIVE ME,:shithappe :leet:


I've misread BLAM's words as..... 'I support IchixOrihime because they both have orange hair'

Guess Warchef must have misinterpreted BLAM saying as 'Kubo Tite is sure going to pair up Ichigo and Orihime, because their hair colour is the same'.


I might as well say this back to you then

IchixKiai
they both have different hair colour x)
How would you then be able to read my mind from this statement?

'I support IchixKiai because they both have different hair colour'

or

'Kubo Tite is sure going to pair up Ichigo and Rukia, because of their hair colour, theirs are different'. (added....just to show fans how 'Ying and Yang' Ichigo and Rukia are via the hair)



Considering how some people read the manga and claim it is when it's not, it's understandable that we all make mistakes, dont you think.


I'm one of them who support a pairing just because they look nice together, hair colour included.

Well i wouldn't call her alive... i think she's pretty dead.
The only wrong with my counterargument is that he wouldn't have sex with rukias corpse, but with her soul, that's not attached to her body, i can't see why it isn't necrophilia.

if you translate Necrophilia word for word it means something like dead love = not refering to a corpse, but something that's dead (not alive).
Eternal sigh.

[Chi]

This is stupid... Rukia goes with renji, Ichigo go has a threesome with Orihime and Tatsuki

[Warchef]

Rukia wouldn't go with Renji. What has he done in the series to make you think that he deserves her? Either Rukia remains single or Rukia will go with Ichigo.

I still think IchiRuki has more substance than IchiHime, if you look at what Kubo Tite has laid out since the manga began. However, IchiHime is still possible.

[Chi]

Well his drive and determination to be with her is what prompted him to accomplish everything he has. Including gaining the power of Bankai. IF that ain't love i dunno what is. Not too mention that Rukia is a spirit. I think Rukia and Ichigo have more of a brother and sister or mentor apprentice kind of relationship that often get mis interpreted as romantic because of the whole soul society arc. But really you just need to open your eyes more. Especially when Ulquiorra was taking Orihime to Hueco mundo the whole speal about saying goodbye she chose Ichigo and almost kissed him. Thats what am basing my opinions on. I only threw Tatsuki in there for comedic purposes but she obviously has some degree of care or worry about Ichigo but thats yet been explored.

For a relationship to exist both people must love each other So just because renji might like rukia does not mean they will enter into a relationship because maybe rukia does not love renji same argument for the Orihime pairing

[Warchef]

I can understand why you would think that... however, Ichigo gained Bankai for the same reasons Renji did... TO SAVE RUKIA. Also, the Orihime confession was one sided, that doesn't mean that Ichigo is going to reciprocate her feelings.

Ichigo is more or less a spirit like Rukia now as well. Considering the fact that he is no longer a normal human (after all, how many humans have an inner hollow that allows them to keep their outward appearance and doesn't change them into a full blown hollow?). Also, with the revelation that Isshin was a shinigami himself, more than likely a former captain, and the fact that Isshin probably was a noble, makes the IchiRuki pairing more likely. But like I said, wait for the manga and anime to play out and see what happens. There probably won't be any romance at all, but who knows?

[Chi]

Well I dunno, he goes through all that intensive training with the vaizards so he can be strong enough to protect her. And i say her because he felt directly responsible for her getting the backhand of the century from Yami after he got the 1st of what seems to be a long series of beat down at the hand of the espada. And of course its going to be one sided when the other party is dreaming of chocolate covered bunnies. Or whatever he's dreaming of. And he only saved rukia in the way a student of the japanese culture would try to save his master if his master was in need of saving and he knew he could pull it off. Its no different then when Neo saved Morpheus in the Matrix ( i know, i know am sorry for going there). Furthermore, since am not going to create any more spoiler alerts for those who don't read the manga, i'll say this notice how pissed of Ichigo got at the end of episode 161 at espada #4 after he revealed to ichi that he was the one who coherced orihime into coming to Hueco mundo, he didn't get that furius at Byakuya if I recall.

[Warchef]

That's because he knew that Byakuya took her there.. Also, when Byakuya was talking about his pride and Rukia's execution, Ichigo did the same thing.

In that SAME manga chapter, Ulquiorra asks Ichigo where he's going. And he tells him 'to save Rukia'.

Honestly, does it really matter who gets with whom? There more than likely won't be any romance in the series at all. And if there is, great, everyone can squeal with joy.

[Chi]

I personally don't care either way, I just want to see Kenpachi Zeraki's shikai or bankai. I want to see who the other nameless Vaizard is (I think Urahara). I want to see what the rest of Ichi's friends powers are. And i definitely want to see the remaining Captain's bankai's are esp Shinshui and Ukitake. Its less then likely anyone is going to hook up with anyone. But for the sake of keeping within their respective realms I think alive people should stay with alive people and souls should stay with souls.

Refering to the Isshin comment, that was explained by Aizen as one of the reasons Urahara got exiled from soul society for creating that special gigai that turns souls into humans. Which could easily explain why Isshin was able to have a family and all.

Yea, i see that, but how could he actually be with Rukia, plz explain it? cause last time, she stayed too long, she got ichigo ****** up!

Lol, undying that guy must've stopped right after that manga LOL!, why would the main character die? Dumbasses, that's like killing naruto off, the show " NARUTO" how could the show go on without him?

[Undying]

You know, technically, a main character can die and the manga continue without him, provided there is an old character who is established that can continue as the new main character.

Ever read Gantz? The main character dies there, and the manga continues with an older character who takes the lead :).

@Love-chi: Hey, np, it just demanded a response :P

[Chi]

Ichigo didn't die against Ulquiorra he got a whole punched in his chest and was on the verge of dying. Same way Kenpachi left a hole in him and he was on the verge of dying. (wow seems like a trend with Ichigo) He's not a soul living in a gigai, he has a real body. He uses that medalion Ukitake gives him to cast his soul out of his body. He is still very much alive. Again after he got pwnd by Yami he felt like less then a man and was embarrassed to even talk to Inouhe. I don't know about you but sounds like he felt like he couldn't protect his girl. The his mentor (Rukia) came and help him find his resolve and made him want to become strong to control his hollow powers like a teacher would.

[MetalSpawn]

Ichigo just has a complex about protecting people he was not hurt because he could not protect Inoue he was hurt because he was not strong enough to protect what he set out to protect he would have felt the same if Rukia was in Inoues position

Ichigo died against Ulqiorra :). He was killed and died, etc. He had a whole punched in his neck, not chest.

Anyway.

I don't know about Rukia or Orihime. But.

Ichigo wants to protect Orihime a lot more than Rukia, and apparently felt more depressed. Who knows.

[Viva_ Shira]

WHY WOULD HE WANT A SMALL BONY GIRL WHEN HE CAN HAVE A BIG TIT GIRL! :Plol
But for real, it's kinda hard, but orihime has probally waited too long for ichigo to love her, then Rukia would probally feel sad for her, dump ichigo, then he's stuck at home doing u know what!\

But Undying makes good arguements im with him!

[MetalSpawn]

Well so far in the anime the only love type emotions expressed are that of Inoue's towards Ichigo and i do not think they would have shown this if it was not going to lead to something.Ichigo's feelings to Rukia are show to be more of gratitude than anything else (that is why he said he saved Rukia) so i have to go for the Inoue and Ichigo romance

[Chi]

I dunno if Orihime can bring people back to life with Santen Kesshun, but who knows if he did die then its a credit to orihimes desire to bring him back to life. But Grimjow told her to heal him no resurect him.

Grimmjow could have said "do your thing", it doesn't change anything - Ichigo was dead. He was completely unresponsive when Grimmjow kicked him in the side, didn't even groan or respond.

But anyway, Orihime can bring the dead to life, since she rejects events, she can reject death as well.

Well then I concede on that point but my argument still remains, that in which it would seem we both agree.

But surely her power has a limit because bringing people back from the dead is like an ultimate power so i dont see her having ultimate power when she is not the main character

I believe she is limited by her own amount of spiritual power, possibly the amount of time she can reject through (e.g., Ichigo was dead for a short while, not more than an hour).

I dunno it seems weird to mee too... becasue Tusubaki died and she couldn't bring him back on her own. It took Ushōda Hachigen, who has the same abilities as her plus vizard power to bring it back to "life" so am skittish on her ability to bring the dead back to life.

Hachi's powers are nothing like Orihime's. His powers are time reversal. Hers are a literal even rejection - she rejects events, not restores things.

She can't restore her own powers quite as effectively because she doesn't know how they work :).

Hachigen Ushōda-
He seems to be a binding spells expert, since he is always the one in charge of making barriers and such for the vizard's use. He seems to also have powers similar to Orihime Inoue's, and he was the one who healed Tsubaki's injuries when Orihime's own powers were insufficient to do so.
For the record not a fan boy but that what wiki says, and they seem to be pretty accurate so far. :eek13:

Wikipedia bases its statement on Orihime's statement she was unsuccessful. Unfortunately, her lack of success can be attributed to several things, among them her inability to heal herself (notice that she can never heal herself? Probably this limitation applies to her powers as well - she can't her her weapons).

Well she didn't heal herself after the yami think cause she was taking care of Yatsura Sado who was way worse the she. Then after that she had to heal everyone after Grimmjow beat up everyone and then the next time we see her she's all better. So she can heal herself. She just never really seems to fight enough to get hurt.

Yeah, herself.

Not her powers. Besides, she only learned more of her powers from Hachigen when they had a talk, so she probably figured stuff out by talking to the fairies (and after training with Rukia for a month, her powers would obviously grow).

I am right, you are right, we're all right.

[Chi]

Point is i don't think Ichigo died, he was probably on the verge and she healed him not resurected.

And he still fights for her because he has feelings for her. unlike fighting for Rukia where it was to save his mentor.

[Warchef]

There is no conclusive proof that Ichigo has feelings for Orihime, or that he has feelings for anyone. He is fighting to save his friends, nothing more.

[Chi]

It might have started out that way. But am sorry but if my friends get a little beat up am not gonna get depressed and feel like that. And after the yami thing he felt worse about Orihime getting hurt then Chad.

[Warchef]

The point is there is still ZERO proof of any romantic feelings between Ichigo and Orihime. And, as I've said before, there aren't any romantic feelings anywhere, at least none that have been brought out in the open. Ichigo hasn't said he has feelings for Rukia, and he hasn't said he has feelings for Orihime. If you ask me, at the moment he sees them both as friends, but Kubo Tite seems to focus more on the interactions between Ichigo and Rukia than Ichigo and Orihime. No proof of an Ichiruki relationship, but nothing that suggests anything near leaning towards Ichihime.

[The viper]

I think it will be like a 'Tifa - Cloud - Aerith' FF7 love thing.

Either rukia or orihime will die and ichigo will be with the one that lived xD

My opinion that is, i hope it's Orihime.

[sophos]

IDK what you guys are watching, but the Bleach I watch is completely obvious. Orihime + Ichigo have the greatest chance of getting together. Rukia is Renji's closest friend. Ishida is a loner. He had feelings for Rukia at one time before the Bount woman. This isn't a harem where everyone is in love with the same guy.

[4pp73b0t]

I definatly think it is Ichigo+Orihime and that Renji and Rukia have feelings for each other

Episode 113 in the anime and in the manga 192 page 1. Its proof that Orihime cannot resurect the dead only heal the living.

Plus, Orihime proves him wrong by reviving Ichigo.

I don't care what he says. I want to see some boobs on ONI chans face now. And only one of these girls have boobs the other one has some sort of shemale transsexual incomplete thing going on.

Inoue revived the very much dead Loli and Menoly (one of whom had half her body blasted off).

Ichigo was quite dead this is after Inoue healed Ichigo (who was very surprised to see Grimmjow, who kicked him in the ribs earlier).

[Chi]

we're just going to have to agree to disagree on the particulars of this section.

But i do respect your opinion.

[sophos]

So do you think Orihime could revive someone if their entire upper torso was blown to ashes? It's probably possible since Hacchi, with his similar powers, showed he could revive Tsubaki with just the hair clip.

[Chi]

Damn it, am so lost. I mean why would everything hint that her powers are for realing and thats that and then give info that she's a healer. Grimmjow said heal and Chado said no point in helping the dead so i think assuming that she can resurect the dead is a tad bit far fetched.

[sophos]

Chad said that before she met Hacchi and learned more of her powers from Aizen, maybe they didn't know the full potential of her powers at the time.

[Chi]

I know but what about what grimmjow said? it was after Hachigen and Aizen...?

[sophos]

Yeah I guess she really can't heal someone who is dead, but then she has never tried either. Perhaps their soul needs to be connected to the body for the procedure to work.

[Decado]

Too much spam and off-topicness


/moved to Bleach randomness

[Hime-chan]

i like orihime and ichigo, but to be honest i really don't think either of them will end up together, ichigo loves rukia and orihime as FRIENDS nothing more.rukia loves ichigo as a FRIEND nothing more . All we know is that Orihime is the only one who is in love with him,there is a big difference.but no proof that he feels the same way towards anyone, at least from what i've seen and if you seen something different then tell me...same with rukia, give me proof that she's in love with anyone,besides ichigo loves all his friends equally and right now i don't think he's into that kind of stuff.and by now i would think rukia would beat orihime to the chase when it comes to ichigo. and i really see her as a sister to him .

[Warchef]

KT developed the Ichigo/Rukia relationship from the beginning of the manga. He introduced a vague Ichigo/Orihime relationship at the end of the Arrancar arc to now in the HM arc. If anything, it's more of a love triangle than anything.

Of course, none of this has been mentioned at all, but regardless, there will hopefully be some romantic interactions at the end of the series. Aizen just needs to bite the dust first.

[Chi]

Its all speculative to start with... and truth be told you can never know someone's true feelings. Kinda like every girl who thinks that they can have platonic guy friends when in reality that guy is just waiting for his chance. Just comes to show unless something is spoken you will never really know. But going by attitudes and behavioral patterns it seems to me that Ichigo feels something towards Orihime that he's not telling and plus he sucks at talking to women as can be shown by him telling Orihime that she wasn't that heavy... a big no no when talking to girls.

[Warchef]

I haven't noticed any changes in behavior at all.. Ichigo seems like the same Ichigo, he just seems alot more confident than he used to be. I think it's more due to the fact that he is not just saving Orihime but all of his friends that makes him confident, rather than any "feelings" for any girl. Anyways, wouldn't the Japanese character popularity polls influence KT?

[Chi]

I think your wrong and here's why during the whole SS arc he was into saving all his friends and he said it that he was going to protect everyone. Ep. 41 he acted more like a brother and sister to Rukia Kuchiki... in the present Hueco mundo act he seems intent on saving Orihime more so then protecting his friends.

Plus Ichigo is the kind of guy who wouldn't make the first move so even if he liked her he wouldn't act on it.

Then again after being pwnd by yami he seems less focused on Chad getting hurt and more on Orihime and couldn't even talk to her, rukia had to do it for him. He's definitely crushing on her. The only threat is Tatsuki because I think she likes Ichigo too.

[Warchef]

He was fighting up against enemies he had no idea he couldn't win against. Of course when you fight against an unknown enemy and get destroyed while two of your friends are lying injured on the ground you wouldn't be able to talk to them, especially since you made a vow to protect them. It's not "crushing", and if anything it's unrequited love, and she's going through a high-school crush phase of her life, much like any other girl at that age. He doesn't like anyone, and besides he has clearly stated that he and Orihime are friends yet he doesn't know how to answer what Rukia is to him.

Kinda strange eh?

Not really she's a dead girl who just popped up out of the blue... id have a hard time explaining who she is too. Besides at that time Rukia was forcing him to hunt hollows, and nowhere does he say he doesn't like anyone again its speculative. Like the basis of this whole thread. Which by the way is asking who do you think he should get with Rukia or Orihime, himself isn't an option.

[Warchef]

Yes, a dead girl who changed his destiny, as well as him changing hers. They share a special relationship, and while at this time it's speculative to say it's anything other than just friendly, KT has evolved their relationship moreso than Ichigo and Inoue. I don't hate Inoue, or the Ichihime pairing, I hate people that flat out deny that any feelings can exist between Ichigo and Rukia because she's "dead".

[Chi]

Woah! I don't deny that any feelings can exist between the two of them. I just think based on behavior its more of a brother/sister thing.

ID0ffgU4NIs

That is definitely how siblings act not potential love interest. Plus i since learned that Ichigo is pretty much dead inside a body of a permanent Gigai much like his dad.

[Shihouin Yoruichi]

He should definitely be with Orihime! :biggrinlo They're just sooo cute together.
I mean, if it had to be Rukia in the first place, why did they put Orihime in the story at all? All Orihime's ever done until now is loving her Kurosaki-kun. If they really had to place a female character that's near Ichigo, they could have put Tatsuki. But instead, they chose the loving, caring and beautiful Orihime. She's the princess of the hero, for sure!

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1393/1121892288_9a2626b019.jpg?v=0

Besides, I think that Ichigo and Rukia have a more brother-sister kind of relationship. :) which is very beautiful too.

They put her in the story as an antagonist to an implied Ichigo/Rukia relationship. She likes Ichigo, Ichigo doesn't know, doesn't care, or just doesn't want to burden himself with love relationships. Rukia is meh, she seems to be more on the fighting the enemy frame of mind as well.

[senna san]

orihime of course i would of said sombody als

[Warchef]

Why would they pair him with a filler character?

Oh come on she's not a filler character she's the medic in their lil squad every time they all get torn up its her who heals their injuries. Not too mention the whole HM arch is based off of her.

[Chi]

Oh ok my mistake

[tribechick13]

rukia all the way

[Chronoseraph]

hmmm i think that it is going to be orihime that ichigo ends up with because well... the go after rukia in soul society and go after orihime in heco mundo are really quite the same however several things are against rukiaxichigo relationship
1. At the end of soul society arc nothing happened rukiaxichigo wise
2. It is a fact that orihime likes ichigo while who rukia likes is unsure
3. because of the confession before the heco mundo arc greater chance of romance
however this is purely speculation and personally the cahnce for any romance is meh low

[Warchef]

Orihime's confession is unrequited love. Which is usually a big theme in shonen for some reason. Orihime's love is a schoolgirl crush and a character flaw. And I'm sure that's what Kubo is trying to portray when he draws her scenes. Honestly, what would be the point of putting Ichigo with Inoue when he has been evolving Ichigo and Rukia's relationship, platonic as it may seem to be, for 200 or so manga chapters. THAT doesn't make sense.

I honestly also don't think that Ichigo and Inoue will end up together because that would be a HUGE mistake fanbase wise. The Japanese fanbase HATES Inoue with a passion. She barely makes it in the top 10 character polls, and Ichihime was like 50th in the SJ couples poll.

[Orihemi]

Just a small thing to add. Rangiku said that Ichigo needs both Orihime and Rukia right now so its still set to go either way.

[paleblood]

Better with Rukia! Even though they always shouting each other, they are perfect couple

[•XxOucHxX•]

Orihime...she tried to kiss him..and he knows her more...lol

[Warchef]

What? No he doesn't. She is barely even on the friend level. He knows way more about Rukia.

[•XxOucHxX•]

What? No he doesn't. She is barely even on the friend level. He knows way more about Rukia.

Nah not really..He knows Orihime more..Since he knew Orihime from the time they started school..He also knew Orihimes big brother :D

[Warchef]

/sigh

No he actually doesn't. He first saw her the night her brother died. He knew her brother but he didn't actually know her until they got in high school. In fact he said that he only found out recently that the girl that was in front of their clinic that night was Orihime.

Now honestly, he supposedly has known Orihime for about 2-3 years (debatable), yet he barely even talks to her (said it himself) and only knew about her through Tatsuki.

Hell, he barely pays her a fleeting glance in every arc up to the arrancar arc, where she gets hurt.

Even in the HM arc, he pretty much goes off and does his own thing. Twice he went off and forgot about Inoue. 1) When Ulquiorra tells Ichigo Rukia is dead, he attempts to go off and rescue her. Then he gets angered when he finds out that Inoue has been wrongly labeled as a "traitor", followed by telling him that he needs to hurry and finish his fight with Ulquiorra so he can go rescue Rukia.

2)When Ichigo hears that Karakura Town is in danger, he begins to head off and attempt to get back to help defend his own hometown. Notice here he also forgets about Inoue.

Also, during Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow, Grimmjow says that Ichigo coming to HM to save Inoue was a lie, and that he really came to finish the fight with Grimmjow. (Now, who did Grimmjow hurt? Rukia.) He fought Grimmjow for hurting Rukia. Notice also that Ichigo doesn't deny this, which pretty much means he agrees with it.

Finally, I love it when people make the assumption that because Inoue tried to kiss Ichigo, then he should get with her. Ridiculous. I don't know about you, but some ditzy girl walking into my room invisible at midnight and attempting to kiss me in my sleep is kind of scary and well... stalkerish.

However, keep your opinion if you like it. Just don't be surprised when KT disappoints your expectations.

okay if anything ichiruki reasons are similar to tatsuki's,they bicker alot,tatsuki knows more about him and knew him longer than anyone,and not to mention is within his age group,so she's all in one both ichiruki and ichihime,i think it's safe to say that tatsuki would be fine with everyone if ichigo does get paired up with anyone.b/c all of this arguing over who ends up with who,i really think know one will ,and if it is a pair i hope it to be ichihime ,but if not ichihime, it should be tatsuki and ichigo .

i'd say orihime bigger boobies

is dat all u think about! I'd say rukia cause her personality is better suited 4 him.
